General Discussion / Question about Pololu Sharp GP2Y0A60SZLF distance sensor
« on: May 27, 2016, 01:04:00 AM »
I am developing a prototype of a distance sensing device using the Pololu Sharp GP2Y0A60SZLF distance sensor, following the instructions here:
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-setup-a-Pololu-Carrier-with-Sharp-GP2Y0A60S/
I am following the instructions, but instead of connecting VCC (sensor) to 5V (tinyduino), I am connecting VCC (sensor) to VCC (tinyduino). I have tried connecting it to 5V on the tinyduino, and the sensor then reads always 0.
The sensor is reading, but the values are not properly distributed (e.g. I have high values at a short distance, medium values at a medium distance and again high values at a higher distance).
Any recommendations?
